I have used those rice filled things that you put in the microwave, then drape it over your shoulders...I got one at Walgreens...it is about 18 inches long and maybe 4 inch diameter.....I heat it up wrap a flannel towel around it, place it in the baby's bed, kinda curved around in a U shape....the babies love to snuggle right up next to that, like they would if it was momma....heating pads scare me, and if I use them, I put them completely UNDER the pups box, then put pups bedding in the box...no way they can get directly on top of that heating pad.....At 6 weeks old, the baby can regulate it body temp, but can get chilled...keep out of any drafts at all....
